SomeGuy84:
On page 4492 Clinton's mom says she has about 40 thousand subscribers
On page 4493 Clinton's mom says her friend Burger Oni just broke 200 thousand (implying subscribers)
On page 4497 Marigold says she should get online and see if she can join Clinton's mom's stream. This is followed by Clinton's mom saying that Burger Oni has just got online and wants to meet Clinton.

So from this we can infer that Marigold is Burger Oni and has over 200 thousand subscribers

While we don't know what streaming looks like in the world of QC we can make estimates based on our world. On Twitch a subscriber typically pays $5.00 per month and typically half of that goes to the streamer.

So on that basis, with 200 000 subscribers, at $2.50 per month, Marigold is pulling in about a half million per month.

Farideh:
Then again, look at YouTube. You can subscribe to a channel without paying a cent.

When I said there are no normal people in Northampton, I wasn't just referring to Jeph's fictional version of it.

Except I don't live in Northampton and she sounds normal to me.

Today's comic: Dora being a good supportive friend, nice.

I think the only safe assumption is that Marigold is making as much money as Jeph wants her to make for the purposes of the plot.

I expect Jeph knows the difference, but on the other hand, the *vast* majority of people are going to understand "subscribe" in the YouTube sense rather than the Twitch sense, so it's possible he used that sense of the word for greatest common understanding. On the other other hand, his audience probably tends towards people who know more about both platforms. Hard to tell what he means until he confirms one way or another (or it never comes up again :P )

Re: Only Fans, I have a couple of streamer friends who use it. As somebody said above, it's technically a site you can use for any kind of personal content, but lewds and nudes tend to be what people use it for most. Some choose to keep it short of nudity, some don't. They're also really strict about complying with age confirmation/identification (as they should be). One friend had her page pulled down when her license expired until she could renew it, even though technically they had already confirmed her age with the previously valid government document.
